NBA Player News

Porzingis (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Porzingis will return from a one-game absence due to an illness Tuesday. The star big man has averaged 18.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.2 three-pointers and 1.4 blocks across 28.4 minutes per game in his last five outings. He has shot 47.7 percent from the field and 47.8 percent from beyond the arc in that five-game span.

Gafford (knee) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Gafford didn't play in Saturday's game against the Clippers as the Mavericks monitor his workload, but he's all set to be available for Wednesday. Across his last three appearances since returning from an extended absence, Gafford has averaged 10.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.3 blocks in 19.2 minutes while shooting 66.7 percent from the field. Dereck Lively could head back to the second unit against Los Angeles.

Drummond (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Drummond will miss a 15th straight game for the 76ers due to a toe injury. The veteran big man's next opportunity to get back on the floor will be Friday against the Hawks.

Davis (adductor) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Davis is trending toward playing against his former team Wednesday despite still managing his groin injury. The veteran big man is averaging 19.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 43.7 percent from the field since returning from an 18-game absence.

Vucevic (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Vucevic is dealing with soreness in his right calf, which will keep him sidelined in Cleveland on Tuesday for the first half of a back-to-back set. The Bulls will likely turn to Zach Collins to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt. Vucevic's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against Miami.

Poeltl is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to a right hand contusion, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

The right hand injury is a new concern for Poeltl, who missed Sunday's win over the Nets due to rest purposes. If the big man is sidelined once again, Orlando Robinson and Jonathan Mogbo are candidates for an uptick in playing time against Charlotte.

Holmes (shoulder) will not play Tuesday against the Pacers.

Holmes was previously considered doubtful, so no surprises here. Anthony Gill could soak up additional minutes in Holmes' absence.

Adebayo (back) is listed as available for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

After missing Monday's game against the 76ers with left back spasms, Adebayo is cleared to play Wednesday and should be able to take on his usual workload. Over his last 10 games, the star big man has averaged 21.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.9 three-pointers while shooting 50.0 percent from downtown in 34.4 minutes.

Holmes (shoulder) has been listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

Holmes is trending toward not playing Tuesday in Indiana due to a shoulder contusion. The Wizards will likely turn to Anthony Gill (hamstring) and Tristan Vukcevic (knee) against the Pacers if they are cleared to play.

Sabonis amassed 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-5 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists and one block over 35 minutes during Monday's 127-117 victory over Detroit.

Sabonis racked up his 10th triple-double of the season in Monday's victory. With 67 games under his belt and three regular-season games remaining, Sabonis is on pace to return second-round value in nine-category formats with 19.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 0.9 three-pointers.
